Life at home

Perhaps a nice bottle of honeyed cough suppressant.. I forget the name and ingredients, but it's the only one of those bottled concoctions that doesn't make me feel weirdly worse.

Maybe....... hmmm.....

Just asked, she's already taken cough syrup.

Glad I had my flu shot. Hope it holds up.

And latex gloves.

She also might be ready for some kindly worded advice - or maybe a link - on how not to spread all your germies. Maybe mom (or whomever) never knew or taught her..

i usually speak up on the side of not keeping one's home a sterile OR equivalent, but, on the other hand, have you ever seen those stop-photos of sneezes? i guess it depend on what is causing the cough - coughing with asthma or an allergic bronchial reaction isn't necessarily going to infect housemates..

This is definitely a raw throught, wonky voiced cold/flu.

Ah, well then. Cover your mouth when you cough, wash your hands often, don't leave spittle filled Kleenix on the the table type advice. Or, better yet, don't go to work, at least at the beginning of colds/flu, the primo contagion time (or it used to be, not sure what they say now.
Well, that would help those at work..

I told her she should stay home from work, but that means she coughs all over my space...... She does occassionally cover her mouth when she coughs, but then she immediately touches things like the door to the trash bin and the faucet. She doesn't wash her hands, she rinses them and then dries them on the common kitchen hand towel..... ah. Good thing I like her so much.

Ack! She was putting dishes away. I told her to stop.

she's been sitting in the kitchen coughing since 7:30am. I'm a light sleeper, so i was more or less up, too. now i don't want to touch anything in the house...and i work mostly at home. Ack! she just so doesn't get it.

...but she loves to cook dinners for us.... musn't grumble i guess.

Put on some rubber gloves , break out the bottle of spray lysol and a sponge and start following her around, cleaning and wiping every surface she coughs on. You'll get so annoying that she will notice.

I am so tactful that I would have whacked her upside the head before now and asked her if her mother never taught her any manners (wipe yer nose in your own bed-sheet missus!) but then I also got the flu shot over six months ago, and then recently got ... guess what? the effing flu! Is the flu shot supposed to last more than six months?

Anyhoo, I now hear that some people in my building got the measles. BRILLIANT! I've been wanting a couple of weeks off! Sigh!

Heeven, I heard about that outbreak of measles! Scary! Stay healthy and take two weeks off for something fun.

I look like Fabio.

Really? He's goofy looking.

Oops, I meant to say Flabio, Fabios illegitamate half brother.

heehee....

well, I am now sick. I doubt it's the housemate's cold as it's pretty mild. Or maybe it's mild because I had the flu shot. OR, it's my niece's cold.

Dasha and I started moving some boxes across the street. Actually, Dasha helped me move some of my boxes across the street.

waah, i refuse to move. it's going to be one big hell for the next two weeks or so. gah!

<sigh> <cough>

You ain't foolin nobody. We know you blame dag for getting sick.

Just say it. Come on. SAY IT! SAY IT!

Dag, does this mean yoiu couldn't finish your show?
